This is the story of Prince Juan’s journey to find true love and assume his father’s throne. He has three months to find a princess of his own to love and marry, or else be forced to marry the one his father, the king, has chosen for him. He sets out on a quest to find his true love, and meets Princess Maria, who comes from a magical family within a magical kingdom. They fall very much in love, but her father, King Solomon, doesn’t want to lose his beloved daughter, and so challenges Juan to pass three nearly impossible tests in order to prove himself worthy of marrying Maria. With no real magic of his own, will Prince Juan be able to win both Maria’s love and her hand in marriage or will an ancient family curse stand in the way of their happily ever after?

Widely acknowledged as a key figure in Spain's remarkable transition to democracy following General Franco's death in 1975, King Juan Carlos consolidated his reputation as a champion of democracy by aborting the attempted military coup of 23 February 1981. This political biography of the Spanish monarch sheds new light on his childhood, the process whereby he became Franco's successor in 1969, his subsequent contribution to his nation's democratization, and his role as constitutional monarch since 1978, both at home and abroad.

Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke offers a wry and entertaining take on history's most famous seducer as he takes a respite from his stressful existence Don Juan's story—"his own version"—is filtered through the consciousness of an anonymous narrator, a failed innkeeper and chef, into whose solitude Don Juan bursts one day. On each day of the week that follows, Don Juan describes the adventures he experienced on that same day a week earlier. The adventures are erotic, but Handke's Don Juan is more pursued than pursuer. What makes his accounts riveting are the remarkable evocations of places and people, and the nature of his narration. Don Juan: His Own Version is, above all, a book about storytelling and its ability to burst the ordinary boundaries of time and space. In this brief and wry volume, Peter Handke conjures images and depicts the subtleties of human interaction with an unforgettable vividness. Along the way, he offers a sharp commentary on many features of contemporary life.
